Re: ---It's hard to write when things are going good
Dear untitled_operator,
I really resonated with your latest post. Almost a year ago, I found myself going through a bin with old journals and notebooks. The first thing I noticed was how much sadness filled the pages. It brought me back to those dark times. What made it even worse was looking for the breakthrough entries and realizing they never came.
Totally agree with you. It is definitely a lot harder to document when things are going well. It's like when things are rough, we want to get it out of our system or perhaps work through our feelings by writing. And maybe just maybe, the complete opposite happens when we experience joy. We don't want to let it out of our system because we're cherishing the moment and hanging on to it as much as can.
